Ann Cooper Deaths Quotations

By failing to account for all shooting deaths and demonstrate that it is taking steps to avoid future tragedies, the U.S. military shows an alarming disregard for the safety of civilians, including journalists covering this conflict.

The government's heavy-handed attempt to intimidate the independent press and suppress news of the protests and deaths in Addis Ababa is unacceptable. We call on the Ethiopian authorities to release our colleagues immediately and allow the media to report freely.
